How to Sew a Satin Pillowcase| French Seam Pillowcase | No Pattern Required

[@janbennett5885]

Cynthia Renae, I am so grateful to find this simple satin pillowcase with French seams. It's exactly what I was looking for. My son's girlfriend is going through chemo, and I wanted to make her this to protect her hair when she sleeps. Thank you! Jan.

This BEGINNER ... THANKS U SOOOO MUCH! 🤩

[@DanielleT77]

I followed your directions and made my first pillowcase!! Thank you so much!! P.S. So glad you mentioned that plastic headed pins melt! I wouldn't have necessarily thought of that!

[@cindygibb4451]

I’m making my version of the expensive Blissy Satin pillow case that is so popular this Christmas. I’m using your guide to French seam.💞

[@morkiesmcthetraveler3914]

Thank you for sharing this video. I made my first pillow case today!

[@rosac8168]

Thank you. On it !your voice is so soothing. Can you do one with trim on the top?

[@cynthiarenaemakes]

Thank you! I will add a pillow case w/ trim to my to do list. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@pinkiepie6880]

Very in depth tutorial, thank you. But I've heard silk and satin pillowcases are very slippery, and hence have a tendency to slip off of the pillow. Expensive pillowcase brands online usually use a zipper closure to prevent this, but I'm happy just to do an envelope but I didn't see this in the tutorial. It will be my first time sewing a pillowcase, and while I made simple bags and skirts under the guidance of my Mum as a child, I'd love to get back into sewing. I have done some hand sewing but mostly for plush toys on a small scale, so I'm excited but a little nervous to get back into machine sewing. Sadly, my parents bought me a sewing machine years ago but Mum has been using it the last couple years as her old machine needs a tune up... so it's about time I use my own sewing machine haha she had also stolen my brand new fabric scissors as hers need sharpening 😩 Do you have a tutorial on envelope pillowcases? And do most store bought pillowcases have French seams? Even cotton ones? Or is it best for satin for extra strength on the hems?

[@daphnemefi]

Thank you for sharing. Can I use a French seam for any seam?

[@ellenc861]

Great Project...Thank you :)

[@cindygibb4451]

I'm a beginner. What size fabric did you start with?

[@cynthiarenaemakes]

Nekita I started with a fabric that was 2 1/2 yards, but i think you could get away with just 2 yards of fabric. I’m using 100% polyester satin fabric. I purchased my fabric at JoAnn Fabric Store.

[@KeyboneN]

@@cynthiarenaemakes Great! I did read they fabric after I typed the question. Is polyester satin different from "100% satin"? I've been wanting a satin pillow case, but the ones in the Beauty Supply Store aren't what I want. I love this technique. I feel much more confident finally getting started making pillowcases.

[@cynthiarenaemakes]

No 100% satin and 100% polyester are the exact same. The wording may change depending on which store you get your fabric from.

[@KeyboneN]

@@cynthiarenaemakes ok thank you!! Love the video

[@Lovely_Jay22]

Hello, where did you get your clips from?

[@cynthiarenaemakes]

I purchased my clips from Hancock Fabrics while it was still open, but you can get them from Amazon. Just type “sewing clips” into the search bar. They are very inexpensive

[@zormier2002]

You need a hot ruler I think it’s called

[@cynthiarenaemakes]

I’ve never heard of that before, but looking into it…I definitely one. Thank you for the tip!

[@chewar7537]

Informative, but the music is sooooo annoying!!! No need to have it at all. Had to keep muting.
